I haven't looked at this carefully enough to see how it differs from the other migration policy data set I blogged about, but I think they're both worth exploring. Let me copy-paste a description:
The International Migration Policy And Law Analysis (IMPALA) Database is a cross-national, cross-institutional, cross-disciplinary project on comparative immigration policy.The database, which will be used for both qualitative and quantitative research across a range of disciplines, improves existing databases on policy and captures trends in immigration selection policy, naturalization policy, illegal immigration policy and bilateral agreements across 20 OECD countries, across time. It opens up possibilities for a range of comparative qualitative and quantitative research on the determinants of migration policy and the effect of migration policy on social, economic, demographic and political trends.
You can read more about it in this journal article.
